What size wire 60amp hot tub?

For a 60-amp hot tub, you typically need to use 6-gauge wire for copper conductors or 4-gauge wire for aluminum conductors. It's important to ensure that the wire is rated for outdoor use and is suitable for the specific installation conditions. Additionally, always consult local electrical codes and consider hiring a licensed electrician to ensure compliance and safety.

Is it unsafe to have 60A service going into a new electrical box designed for 100A?

Its not recommended because your new main breaker will allow up to 100 amps and your old wire can only safely handle 60amps. If you put a 60amp main breaker in the new box, that would be acceptable. No, it is perfectly safe. Because the box is overrated, there is no problem. If the box is the main panel, and not a subpanel, install a 60A main breaker so you cannot overload your service. If it is a subpanel this 60A breaker should be in the main panel.


Is the Real Estate responsible to tell us only 60amp wiring and other items needing update?

Normally buyers have an inspection that would find a problem like this. The residential disclosure in most states has the seller disclosing any problems. But if the 60 amp wiring is working then it isn't a material fact that must be disclosed. If you had a buyers agent representing you I would be shocked if they didn't tell you to have a home inspection.


How you select a circuitbreaker?

A circuit breaker is intended to protect the wiring of the circuit from overload. The larger a CB is, the faster it will operate, thus in a short circuit situation, the (say) 60Amp breaker will trip before the 30 amp one that is in series. You should only have a moderate factor of safety in your choice of CB. The wiring itself will have a recommended current rating and this is a guide as to the CB.

Can you put a 60amp breaker and a 50amp breaker on a 60amp subpanel just as long as they are not being used at the same time?

You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.
